G'day Jim. My names Glen and I live in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales, Australia. We own a 2016 Swift Explorer Australian version. Mate thanks for this great video. Like you we were holidaying a month ago when I got the E 6 error code, no hot water. I have secured a new combustion motor, just waiting on delivery. Your video has helped greatly. I've removed the old one tonight and hopefully the new one will arrive next week and will fix the problem. I've liked and subscribed to your channel, looking forward to learning mor tips, Cheers Mate.

This was a very useful video. Having drainage issues with my shower and now I know what to do! Thanks 👍🏻

the plugs are FPlugs

🤦🏼‍♂️🤣

We do ours slightly differently. But like your process. Chairs look nice and comfy 😊

Great video. Just bought my 2nd caravan. All previous security has gone with the old one! Q - Are the steady locks good quality? What brand are they? Thanks 👍

Wow for such a small bit off kit it looks amazing especially that vacuum bag 😮

We have just got our first caravan so appreciate this

Great video

What a great little invention, cant believe it does all them things in such a little device....ya right would make a great xmas present....great vlog mate

I have the earlier model, which is small but powerful. A handy little thing to have and doesn't take much space. Good quality to.

I tow trailers for a living and these are great tips. However I would caution on leaving the trailer hitched up. Depending on the length and weight of a trailer/ caravan, you could place excessive force on the hitch plus exceed the capacity of the jack, if your starting to unload the suspension of the tow car.

To follow up as promised. It may be worth being aware that there is a repair service available on a well-known buying and selling platform with bay in its title. Search for "Truma Combi Combustion Fan Test'. They will diagnose a fan sent to them to confirm where the fault lies and repair with a one-year warranty. Total cost is about a third of buying a new part - which might appeal to some. We used this service and it was brilliant. The part was diagnosed, repaired and posted back the day it was received. In our case it was a failed diode on the circuit board - very common, apparently. The fan is now refitted and no more E 6 H. Thanks again for getting us on the way to success and avoiding a very expensive and possibly lengthy repair at a dealership.

Just to say a massive thanks for this video. It got me on the road to solving my problem - not least as it showed how easy it is to access and remove the combusion fan. I did not know about the small cover that just lifted up! I was anticipating the need to remove the whole boiler - beyond my comfort zone as I did not want to start disconnecting gas components. I know of only one other video on the internet (subsequently discovered) that helps in this way. Your video was found almost by accident and I nearly could not find it again when I wanted to write and say thank you. There are Truma "Combi 4" and "Combi 6" boilers and I think your video gets lost in the search for these. If you adjust the video title to make it more clear that it is about a "Code 6" error on Truma combi boilers, it will be found more easily for anyone searching for Code 6 issues: e.g. "E 6 H". My combustion fan is now out and hopefully being repaired. I hope to update again shortly with further information that may be useful to others.

Great top tips for towing , however a caravan, especially brand new, is an expensive asset and in the nearly 25 years of towing a caravan I’ve always had Tyron Bands fitted to all my vans and despite never being in the unfortunate position of having a puncture or a blow out, Tyron Bands give you that piece of mind, especially with the introduction of so called “Smart Motorways”, for you to be able to continue towing at very low speed and find a suitable parking area to be able to have the tyre changed by either you or a professional. Tyron Bands work by keeping the tyre from coming off the rim and causing the caravan to become uncontrollable and also cause expensive damage to the caravan wheel arch and wheel. A cheaper alternative at a couple of hundred pounds to what it could be if disaster strikes.👍

What would you take out the van for winter storage? Hopefully weather permitting we will go away for 5 days will re cover the van and bring home the battery and put on a trickle charge adapter as well as put the wheels on a tyre lock to stop any “standing” damage for 3 months.

Can’t believe this - we had this problem which kept saying error, bloody water pressure valve broke, water all over, 4th time caravanning ever and twice it has leaked - first time bathroom tap slowly leaked with out us knowing throughout the night 😮

So new to caravanning that I suppose we’ve been relatively lucky on CAMH sites that the all services pitches seem level anyway - never thought steadies went down last -always put ours down first!

Only had our first 2nd hand caravan since July - 3 rainy weekends away so far and notice sink slow to drain. New sub here 👍

just got back from here a few weeks back lovely place nice filming too 👍🏻

Looks good the touring section to the main entertainment area seems like a trek especially with kids

Good video but a Pity for me you didn't show the gas pipe connection work . I have one fitted but the plastic tap has failed so just need the internal bits not the plastic housing .

Keep Going You Are Doing a Good Job. thanks Andrew.

I'm sorry but the second the bearing end cap came out with no resistance shows the outer race is too loose in the roller and the way it span round with noise indicates zero lubrication and to much play between the balls and the races. Bearings don't like being washed with rain especially zz ones (shielded) rather than 2RS ones (rubber seals) for the price of a couple of bearings they definitely needed changing while it's stripped down. Mine clicked and the bearing fell to bits. Poor design with hardly any water protection.

We’ve had quite a few holidays there in our campervan. Just a note tho West Bay is in Dorset.

Have you ever had operation fault: connection error come up? I can't get to the bottom of it!

Hi, what silicone did you use? Just had our 2021 swift serviced and found damp under the bbq point so I'm going to have to replace it.

Same issue as mine swift haven't solved the problem they just change the window...Same will happen to the replacement...they are not fit for purpose

That place looks amazing there lots to things for all ages

Very clearly explained thank you

where abouts did you get the new pan roof from? im just about to purchase a swift 2014 and the pan roof is a bit iffy but the price of the caravan is brilliant so dont wanna miss out lol ill replace it myself :D

Surely the gas feed to the external point should be after the regulator?

Had a week there worst touring site we have visited in 40 yrs of touring. pitches were scruffy unkept there website for that site shows nice tarmac roads nice bays opposite each other false advertising. The touring park is up a massive hill the site goes up in stages almost impossible to reverse you caravan onto pitch. The showers are so outdated beyond belief. The laundry has two washing machines only one working told by a static van resident been out of order for weeks complained to reception falls on deaf ears. As for the entertainment you've never seen such load of rubbish. Restaurant is open to public with access to entertainment. The place is a tip.

Happened to mine swift caravans are just rubbish check your rear panel at the top they all start to split there as well

So - Ive adopted your way except to date not used a ramp. Been lucky I guess. However. Initially it’s great. But I found issues with the bathroom door being off centre after levelling. Why I wondered? Doh!! I have an internal water tank. My levels were always before I filled the tank. But after it was full the neutral position had of course moved. Dammit. Dunno if anyone else has that issue -😊 I d like to know though. So my plan next time is to get it as level as I can then fill and then re level. Interestingly when I have the van on the road outside the house it’s never a problem - so the weight and less stable ground does matter. I may just buy a milenco wheel rack (😅it’s got a proper name, so I don’t need to fuss moving onto a ramp. I do like your vids tho mate. Keep on doing them!

I had the same issue on my 2012 Conqueror.....i was in the South of France where i leave my caravan for 9 months of the year. Spoke with my insures Tower Gate who were fantastic. Agreed to cover the cost of the repair at a Swift Dealer near Bergerac. Its definitely a manufacturing fault. The silicon rubber seal that allows the glass to flex during movement becomes hard over time and this is what creates the cracking. The repair guy said that the silicon rubber seal has now been upgraded and no longer losses its flexibility. Total cost to have a new one fitted including all the silicon sundries glass and labour was £2.5k ......thanks Tower Gate Insurance.👍

Exact same thing happened on my 2014 Swift Elegance I got it replaced on my insurance but the repair shop made me wait a year because they told me the window had to be made for it abroad. Do you think they were telling me a porky to be honest if I had known it was that easy I would have done it myself if I knew where the windows come from..

Keep going you are doing a good job

great thank you

Perfik..... just as my wife Helen and I do it.

How timely for me. I have just bought the same model of caravan ( love it ) and was looking for a method of levelling on site. Many thanks.

Think I saw your 'van in storage. The only reason I spotted it is because the trees separating the 'vans had been removed and you are almost opposite us. Obviously will not mention the storage.

I have a teleco antenna and booster do you know if the V5 vision plus booster will be compatible with the teleco antenna?

Is there a lift for anyone with disabilities to get up to the club

Very good video I wish some of the others video were as clear as yours, well done you.

Spray the little spring with some silicone spray gone

I have a swift as well they say £800 to £1000 to fit one, I believe the dealers cut it out as well to change one. Looks like you have done a good job looks well.

Do you have a smart alternator on your tow car ? If so how do you manage charging the battery from the car as I’m under the impression that a DC to DC charger might be required .

"Swift" name miss. B&Q brush cleaner brilliant for removing silico e.

Great video, I need to do almost the same job myself, although my sunroof blew off so no need for the removal step. Can I ask where you managed to source the replacement window from? Thank you
